Definitions
- the technical field of an aspect of the invention is tires, and more particularly tire thickness measurement.
- TPMSs Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems
- tire wear is another accident risk, being able to lead to the disappearance of the reliefs on the tire tread and a reduction in grip and roadholding.
- One aspect of the invention is a method for determining the thickness of a tire of a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle being equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system comprising a tire pressure monitoring receiver connected to at least one tire pressure monitoring sensor placed at the level of a tire of the vehicle, each tire pressure monitoring sensor being positioned in contact with the internal wall of the tire so as to be able to measure a variation in the radial acceleration when the tread facing which the tire pressure monitoring sensor is positioned comes into contact with the ground.
- the method comprises the following steps:
- a first reference time, a second reference time and a third reference time referred to as the time of passage are determined, these times being successive, and when, at the third reference instant, the absolute value of the longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle is below a predetermined threshold, and when the angle between the projection onto the horizontal plane of the velocity vector of the vehicle and the projection onto the horizontal plane of the velocity vector of the tire on which the sensor is installed is below a predefined threshold, the following steps may be performed:
- a reference time may be determined as being the instant situated in the middle of the time interval corresponding to a minimum value of the radial acceleration experienced by the tire pressure monitoring sensor.
- the instant of passage of the half-deflection angle for a rotation can be defined as being the instant following the reference time for said rotation for which the radial acceleration experienced by the tire pressure monitoring sensor, filtered by a first-order low-pass filter, is equal to a minimum. It will be recalled that it is possible to determine that a parameter has reached a minimum by determining that the derivative of the magnitude has reached a null value following a decrease in the value of the parameter.
- the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter may be equal to 0.1 Hz.
- the speed of the vehicle can be determined as a function of a global positioning signal.
- the longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle can be determined as a function of the signal from an accelerometer.
- An internal radius of the tire estimated over the range of angular positions can be determined as being equal to the integral, over a period of time corresponding to the range of angular positions, of the ratio of the radial acceleration of the tire pressure monitoring sensor and the derivative with respect to time of the angular position of the tire pressure monitoring system.
- the range of angular positions may extend from the half-deflection angle in radians to 2 ⁇ minus the half-deflection angle in radians.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the key characteristic parameters of a tire
- FIG. 2 illustrates a signal of the radial acceleration from the TPMS sensor of a tire, showing the imprint of the tire.
- a TPMS Transire Pressure Monitoring System
- a TPMS receiver connected to at least one TPMS sensor arranged on a wheel of the vehicle.
- each wheel of the vehicle is fitted with a TPMS sensor.
- the TPMS system is also connected to a central item of equipment, notably an electronic control unit or electronic command unit ECU, or to a portable electronic device, notably a smartphone.
- the connection with the TPMS system may be wired or wireless (of the radio, Bluetooth, notably Bluetooth Low Energy type, or the like).
- connection to the vehicle TPMS sensors is wireless, for design and implementation reasons.
- the TPMS sensors of the prior art are generally positioned in the tire at the level of the inflation valve or in contact with the internal wall of the tire facing the tread of the tire.
- the inventors have noticed that the evolution with respect to time of the radial acceleration perceived by a TPMS sensor in contact with the internal wall facing the tread formed a characteristic signal known as the imprint (“footprint”) from which it was possible to determine the morphological parameters of the tire and notably the mean internal radius thereof.
- footprint a characteristic signal known as the imprint
- TPMS sensors in contact with the internal wall of the tire make it possible to perceive the deformation or deflection of the tire on contact with the ground and therefrom to deduce the mean internal radius.
- TPMS-eTIS Electronic tire Information System
- FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a tire 1 experiencing a deflection 2 in the lower part near the point of contact with the ground 3 .
- the variables illustrated in FIG. 1 are defined as follows:
- a x longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle [m/s 2 ]
- V veh Longitudinal speed of the vehicle [m/s]
- the deflection 2 zone extends over an angular interval [ ⁇ ;+ ⁇ ], whereas the zone outside of the deflection zone extends over the range of angular positions [ ⁇ ;2 ⁇ ].
- FIG. 2 illustrates a first signal 4 showing the evolution with respect to time of the radial acceleration A rad measured by a TPMS sensor as the wheel rotates, and a second signal 5 showing the evolution with respect to time of the value of the radial acceleration, filtered by a low-pass filter (for example having a cut-off frequency equal to 0.1 Hz).
- a low-pass filter for example having a cut-off frequency equal to 0.1 Hz.
- the radial acceleration passes through non-zero values corresponding to the rotation of the TPMS sensor outside of the deflection zone illustrated in FIG. 1 .
- the TPMS sensor approaches the deflection zone, it experiences an increase in radial acceleration up to a local maximum.
- the radial acceleration on the TPMS sensor then decreases sharply until it reaches a minimum when the tread is facing the TPMS sensor and is in contact with the ground.
- the radial acceleration experienced by the TPMS sensor then increases again until it reaches another local maximum, to then decrease toward a non-zero value.
- the radial acceleration profile described above is repeated for each revolution of the wheel upon contact between the tread situated facing the TPMS sensor, and the ground.
- the reference time T i for rotation i is defined as being the instant situated in the middle of the time interval 6 corresponding to a minimum radial acceleration A rad during the rotation i.
- the reference times for the other rotations are defined in a similar way.
- the reference time T i for the rotation i is defined as being a notable point that can be determined repeatably from one rotation to the next.
- the instant T ⁇ of passage of the half-deflection angle ⁇ is defined as being the instant following the reference time for which the value, filtered by a low-pass filter (for example having a cut-off frequency equal to 0.1 Hz), of the radial acceleration experienced by the TPMS sensor passes through a minimum.
- a low-pass filter for example having a cut-off frequency equal to 0.1 Hz
- the instant T 2 ⁇ - ⁇ marking the start of the footprint for the reference instant Ti like the instant preceding the reference time for which the value, filtered by a low-pass filter (for example having a cut-off frequency equal to 0.1 Hz), of the radial acceleration experienced by the TPMS sensor passes through a maximum.
- a low-pass filter for example having a cut-off frequency equal to 0.1 Hz
- the footprint for the reference timer Ti begins at the instant T 2 ⁇ - ⁇ and ends at the instant of passage of the half-deflection angle T ⁇ .
- the external perimeter P of the tire 1 is defined as a function of the half-deflection angle ⁇ , of the mean external radius of the tire R ext and of the external half-length of the deflection of the tire L ext .
- P ( ) 2 L ext +(2 ⁇ 2 ) R ext (Eq. 1)
- V v ⁇ e ⁇ h ⁇ ( T i - 1 ) + V v ⁇ e ⁇ h ⁇ ( T i ) 2 P ⁇ ( ⁇ ) ( T i - T i - 1 ) ( Eq . ⁇ 2 )
- the mean external radius of the tire can then be determined according to whether the vehicle speed V veh is available, whether or not this speed is substantially constant, or whether it is only the longitudinal acceleration A x experienced by the vehicle that is available.
- the central control unit has means available for determining the vehicle speed V veh , making it possible to determine the vehicle speed reliably and accurately.
- a global positioning signal Naystar GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, . . . ).
- the mean external radius of the tire is determined as follows:

- FPratio is the ratio between the time needed to cover the half-deflection angle with respect to the time needed to accomplish one revolution of the wheel.
- Equations Eq. 1, Eq. 6, Eq. 7 and Eq. 8 are then combined in order to introduce the mean external radius R ext :
- V veh ⁇ ( T i ) - V veh ⁇ ( T i - 2 ) 2 ⁇ [ ( 2 ⁇ ⁇ - 2 ⁇ ) ⁇ R ext ] ⁇ [ 1 ( T i - T i - 1 ) - 1 ( T i - 1 - T i - 2 ) ] ⁇ 1 - 2 ⁇ FP ratio ( Eq . ⁇ 9 )
- Equation Eq. 9 is then written to show that the variation in the vehicle speed V veh between two instants is equal to the integral of the longitudinal acceleration A x between these two instants, when the angle between the projection onto the horizontal plane of the vehicle velocity vector and the projection onto the horizontal plane of the velocity vector of the tire on which the sensor is installed is below a predefined threshold, for example 5° of steering angle.
